Hi

Please refer to the following Coinquest page ...

Please be aware of counterfeit coins

My picture is of a genuine dollar coin from a recent auction. Your coin may be genuine or fake. It looks genuine from your picture. You should get a precise weight (to the nearest 0.1 gram, see a jeweler).

Genuine dollar coins weigh 26 grams, and are 39 mm in diameter. Your coin's diameter is shy of 39 mm, and this (probably) means it is a 50 cent coin, not a dollar coin. Genuine 50 cent coins weigh 13.6 grams.

Below is the auction description for the dollar. The coin in my picture sold for $736 US dollars. If your coin is, in fact, 50 cents, the catalogs say it is worth more than the dollar coin.

Please write back once you have a precise weight. We may be able to get more info for you.
